    Stocking Help

    Hi guys, I have a 45 gallon aquarium. I currently have only 4 fish (all mature and won't grow any more) 1 very small Clown Loach, 1 Angelfish and 2 Cherry Barbs. I probably have room for a few new additions but looking at the fish compatibility charts, there are pretty much no options for...

    Reducing Nitrate Levels

    I replanted just the other day with plenty of new plants, so we shall see. The fish I have don't dig plants so that's ok.

    Reducing Nitrate Levels

    My tank's PH, ammonia and nitrite levels are all fine, but the Nitrate level is very high. 50mg/l +. I have tested my tapwater and found that this to be around 25 mg/l +-.

    Back Widow Tetra - Black Growth Around Mouth And Eye

    He never had it before and it's bulging out in big lumps around his mouth. That is not normal, unless you are the Elephant Man perhaps.

    Back Widow Tetra - Black Growth Around Mouth And Eye

    Here is a photo. It's not very sharp and I had to use digital zoom to get in close as he was hiding at the back. I could not get a face on shot which would show much more detail including the growth around his left eye, but here it is anyway. It does show some growth on the mouth.

    Back Widow Tetra - Black Growth Around Mouth And Eye

    The patches don't look fluffy and the fish in question is not much of a digger. I had a filter failure while I was away from home so there's every chance it could be ammonia burns. I now have a new filter installed. Reading up on this I understand it can lead to internal/external bacterial...

    Back Widow Tetra - Black Growth Around Mouth And Eye

    Hi I have a Back Widow Tetra which has developed a black growth around it's mouth and one eye. If it was white, I would think it was mouth fungus, but it is a black growth. Does anyone have any ideas what it could be and how to treat?
